People will tell you that when it rains, it pours, and the same goes for live TV fails.

When one things goes a little bit wrong, everything goes wrong.

BBC Scotland weather presenter Kawser Quamer knows this better than most people.

During her lunchtime report on Wednesday, an odd tech fail sent Quamer spiralling into a fit of barely concealed giggles live on air:

You've got to hand it to her: she holds it together impressively well.

Luckily, Quamer also had a sense of humour about the whole thing.

Now, following the video being made into a Twitter Moment, it looks like Quamer's forecast is destined for the viral hall of blooper fame.
